2.4.2.2 Exporting for local keystore import

After creating the certificate, you must export it to make it ready for importing into the local keystore.

To export for local keystore import

1. Create the self-signed certificate. See Generating and storing a self-signed certificate.
2. Export it to make it ready for importing into the local keystore using the following command (assuming the name of your certificate is file.cer):

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -export -alias tomcat -file file.cer

3. Import the certificate into the keystore.

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -alias tomcat -file file.cer -keystore

$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
